Did anyone notice when he knew he lost he tried to start his butthurtedness up again about mw

I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm. To feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow. To feel inspired. To fathom the power. To witness the beauty. To bathe in the fountain. To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.

Black Doom, um, to put it nicely, you're wrong. At this point, I don't know what you're clear argument is since you're just hating on FPS's, but you're still wrong. Like Slick said, you're just spouting out shit without any evidence.

The evidence is all around you. The gaming media that gives undue attention to shooters. The gamers that play seemingly nothing but FPS. That's evidence enough for me. But I'd be quite happy to be wrong about something like this. Now if only we can stop the dudebros who like this **** from being so loud and obnoxius. That's MY job! /joke

No, I'm talking about a subgenre of FPS. Stuff like Halo and CoD and Battlefield. Militaristic shooters.

Evidently Black Doom does not read many gaming magazines. Gamepro has a very wide variety of reviewing, and while they talk a lot about FPS games, they evenly balance it with the other types of games that branch within every single genre. Even the smallest & worst games get reviewed - it's all in that magazine. Most magazines are kind of like that, reviewing everything so that people are happy that one thing doesn't hog the spotlight, while still having it (even if it shares.) The fact that he's talking about evidence and he's in a debate about how bad this games is kind of a stupid thing. Why argue about something mostly based on opinion and ones' own focus on a certain genre? If you hate it so much, do you not know it's okay to leave it alone and base it alone as your own opinion whether or not people attack? If people attack, that's their opinion you can leave behind, for they are people you [probably] don't know. Besides, who wants to hear some guy get pissed up about a game or games that people really enjoy? Nobody wants to hear some guy ruin the stage for everyone else who wants to have a real post, man. If you calm down I can see you becoming a nice addition to the family, and no I'm not talking to you, Slick. You've been here for a while and you've been a worthy addition. I can't argue, because that would only enflame all of those other people who are defending you , and besides, why would I? It's futile, arguing about how someone doesn't belong in a space with a freedom of speech.

Gaming media? Like IGN, Gamespot, Kotaku, and Gameinformer? It is true that they discuss FPS, because it's their job to cover games. But while they cover FPS's, they also cover OTHER games too. I remember Skyrim was heavily covered by IGN as well as many other gaming sites.

So are we talking about First Person Shooters, war games, or military shooters because quite frankly, you've just made your argument even more muddled. Because a FPS could be House of The Dead: Overkill. A War game could be Gears of War. And a militaristic shooter could be Medal of Honor.

Militaristic shooters. That's what I've been trying to talk about the entire time, I just had trouble finding the right word for it.

So you're angry at Militaristic shooters. Let's see here, that's Call of Duty, Battlefield, Medal of Honor, and maybe Halo (it's a bit of stretch). So those 3-4 game series is ruining the games industry (I think that's what you're arguing about. You bring up a new dumb point every post you make).

I do think that a lot of (military-themed especially) FPS franchises get a fair bit of attention, but they do seem to be a pretty big thing right now, and there are a ton of them out there. Honestly, it's probably kind of dumb for someone to expect that popular games not get the lion's share of media attention, or at least more than unpopular/"minor" releases.

Either that or some of them just get crammed down our throats. After marathonning most of the contents of Stuart Ashen's YouTube videos, there were a lot of ads for Battlefield 3. Maybe it is just oversaturation.

Worst game? Well, recently I didn't like Pokemon Rumble Blast (good game, but not the best mechanics/not worth the money). NFL Tour was also pretty disappointing.

@Black Doom: you appear to be misusing the thread. It's for games you have personally played and disliked, not to hate on an entire genre. If you don't like FPSes, no one says you have to play them, but it's not a reason to get hostile. You also might want to try one out and see of you actually like playing it.

Also, I wouldn't worry about the whole "FPSes r ruining video games!" stuff. 5 years ago it was Guitar Hero. Everyone has phases.

It's about specific games, no? He's hating on the whole genre, that's not what this thread's about.
